In a statement about his new band, Arthurs said: “This is the first time in a while its felt totally right what I’m doing and the music sounds fantastic. Vinny is such a talented singer songwriter and together we have come up with something we can both be truly proud of.”

He added: “The album took a while to come to fruition. Core vocals, guitar, piano, bass and keyboard parts were played by ourselves with guest performances from ‘Bob the Brass’ on trumpet/fugal horn, Semay Woo on cello’s and Anna Zweck [Samson & Delilah] on flute. The drums were played by Chorlton beat-poet in residence Che Beresford [Badly Drawn Boy]. We are really pleased with the results.”

Since leaving Oasis, Bonehead has played in Moondog One with The Smiths’ Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke. He also DJs and has presented a radio show on BBC Radio Manchester.
